Liar's Song
by Marsha Marie


dig deeper

bury them away

it does no good

      to be on display



gaze down 

ignore me please

shut the door

     to hide my screams



can i tell you that i love you? 

can i tell you that i care? 

no matter

it doesn't matter

     i can never be there



my cries for you

what a liar they are 

to tell me true love is just within reach

but in truth be so far 



can i tell you that i love you? 

can i tell you that i care? 

no matter

it doesn't matter

     i can never be there

Yes, there are others walking around the park, but we don’t mind. They look like couples too, and we just look the other way and continue ou

Am I in Love With a Memory?  By Marsha Marie   A touch down your back. My fingertips are soft and vibrate with excitement.  I lean over and gently caress your neck with my lips. Your scent blinds me with desire. How can I tell him? Will he believe me? You roll over and I gaze into your eyes.  I see the young love you once were. I replay the taste embedded in my heart. I lay in your arms and dream of how I wish things could be. I feel your heart. I feel your warmth. Kiss me and hold me. We unite and complete the passion we once burned. I often wonder if you are thinking of me. Do you miss me? Does my scent linger in your mind? Can you be my hero? Can you help me escape my self-made prison? I close my eyes and still feel your youthful smile. I imagine gliding my fingertips across your lips. Your eyes the window to your soul. I feel as if I am standing in a forest calling your name? No one hears. Not even you. I cry to the leaves to hide my shame. Hide me from the chains that bind. I want
